Yes, it was only a spectacle, quite "operatic" and nothing more. <br /><br />Productions of Bayerische Staatsoper in Bachler years rarely convince me, the worst one was Saint François. I hope the new Rigoletto will be better...m. f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-46013829191955496222012-12-10T08:59:03.079+01:002012-12-10T08:59:03.079+01:00Salut ;)

I THOUGHT it would be good and was intrigued by a few (negative) reviews I've read before the webcast. <br /><br />But once the show started my positive attitude disappeared. I hated the second part and found the third part excruciating, both for the "Olympics production" and for the dreaded Puccini. <br /><br />Sorry if it wasn't clear ;) CheersOpera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-26043038489461849102012-12-08T15:55:51.479+01:002012-12-08T15:55:51.479+01:00Sorry, but no.

It's just too much money on the stage and no thought on the work: just what people came to see in 19th c. opera houses (or people at the movies today): big show with lots of special effects. You can't love that AND Warlikowski or Simons or Bieito at the same time.Rameauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303312974693521042noreply@blogger.com
